Pulling the plug
Enough! Assez! Groupe, on a fait notre part, on est épuisé. On sort demain de Haiti pour quelques temps. Je suis content de mon travail, fait au travers mes larmes, mes douleurs, mes peines, mes deuils multiples, mais aussi à travers mes espoirs, un ...
"The waiting is the hardest part..."
(Actually I'm writing this from the Ft. Lauderdale airport) Tom Petty may have had it right... the waiting is the hardest part. Be it the waiting until the last minute to get errands run before leaving the country, or waiting to just get it ...
Bye Bye Haiti
... a french Bible, a gorgeous mortar & pestle carved from one solid & lovely piece of wood, & the kitschy carving of Haiti pictured below. So sweet & unexpected. I was shown such courtesy in this country, & I sincerely hope ...
Kikote ou te pwe ale? My first trip to Haiti
... of racism that have persisted for almost two hundred years after the Spanish declared the Republic? I felt while I was in Haiti a sort of latent potential humming softly below the daily disasters, tragedies and hunger. Since returning I have heard ...
Last Day in Haiti
I think it was a tough morning for us. Taking down our home of a week and saying goodbye to everyone was hard to do. Wondering how people we've come to care about will fare once we are gone will be something we will all be thinking of. We ...
Port-au-Prince
Upon arrival and departure, we drove through crowded parts of the city, stopping occassionally to jump out quickly for a photograph. Most of the photos you'll see from Port-au-Prince are taken from inside our vehicle. In order to get our ...
8 jours, 9ième partie: La halte
Le soir du jour 5, fatigué, au retour vers la maison, dans Pétionville, j'ai eu de nouveaux les yeux mouillés en voyant une première femme à être de retour dans la rue pour vendre des tomates. Je me suis arrêté et lui en ai acheté quelques unes, ...
It is not just the Earthquake of one year ago.
This place looks like a war zone. It has been over a year since the disaster of the earthquake. However, the more I learn the more I find out that the devastation from the earthquake did not help things here for sure, but they were already in ...
Where the heart is
I had been a few places before Haiti, I thought I had seen poverty, but I was very wrong. Everything else that I had seen and experienced before Haiti was not even close. There was such oppression and such a depth of poverty that I could ...
8 Jours, 4ième partie: Silences
Silence dans Pétionville. 8 heures du matin, le lendemain, premier jour. Les gens circulent à pied, de gauche à droite, de bas en haut, un par un, ou par petit groupe, à rythme lent, sans urgence. Pas de voiture circulant, sauf la mienne. Et ...
Rain Rain go away
It has not stopped raining since I woke up this morning. The rain that's falling is so heavy the yard is completely flooded.I trudged through the flooding waters to see the kids tents. They were completely water logged. The first step I ...
Quelques nouvelles d'Haiti! Some Haiti news
... But to see changes in 2011 with the withdrawal of NGOs, with a more stable but still mired politics, international donors who leave Haiti, I think that 2012 will look like more and more like 2009, "before" earthquake. Good news? Bad ...
Working Hard
Today was our first real work day. Oh boy, is it hot! At breakfast this morning, we learned that we would be laying tile. We thought, great! Turns out, we were hauling gravel into the sanctuary so that the Haitians laborers could lay the tile. But, ...

Danse Danse!
... nbsp; For those of you who don't know what clay patties are, they are small round patties of dried dirt. Children in Haiti eat these when their hunger pains are over bearing. Having something in their stomach stops the pains. I bought 5 ...
Cholera, election, polémique... et dictateur!
Salut! Wow! Qu'il s'en passent, des choses, par ici! Ça n'arrête pas! Le cholera continue à faire ses ravages. Surtout dans les campagnes, ou il s'infiltre et les soins se font rares. À l'heure qu'il est, dans la métropole, on est à ...
Come back to square one?
(Anglais seulement) Hi guys! Yep, we're back in Haiti! 8 days after the quake, we left for a 48 hours rest in one of the ugliest hotel room I've been in my life. Since it was some kind of another shock, we officially declared ourselves "in shock", in ...
8 jours, dernière partie: Apprentissages
APPRENTISSAGES ? Qu'ai-je appris de ces 8 jours? Genre de question bien à la mode... Je ne sais pas encore nommer tout ce que j’ai retenu de ces 8 jours, c’est trop tôt et je suis encore en partie « dedans ». Je vous donne quelques ...
jour combien?
Groupe, On ne souhaiterait rien de tout ça à son pire ennemi... Bonne nouvelle: les distributions à partir de l'aide internationale vont commencer aujourd'hui: eau, bouffe, médicaments, matériel, kits d'hygiène,... Les gens hier, au jour 2, ont ...
God Is Good

Help in Haiti
On April 17th, Matthew, and I will be going to Haiti to participate in a development project with Lake Union Crew Outreach Foundation. I have volunteered with this organization twice in the past; Lesotho in Southern Africa and San Francisco de Asis in ...
Day 9 - TGIF!
... we have been working with the past week. In fact, I was told Espwa is one of the largest employers in southern Haiti. I’m sure some of them live out in these houses. We walked back to the site where they were almost finished pouring ...
Bonjou Ayiti
... Andrea, who was apparently the most excited of us all, was just glowing with excitement as we flew over the mountains of Haiti. The four rows around us all heard her excitement and I'm sure everyone was quite entertained. The airport was pure ...
